Abstract
Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la relación del sexo y la edad con la sintomatología depresiva en adolescentes. Los participantes fueron 1.212 adolescentes, de 1º (53,9%) y 2º (46,1%) curso de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, pertenecientes a siete centros educativos de la Región de Murcia (España). Participaron también 104 padres. El porcentaje de adolescentes con sintomatología depresiva clínicamente significativa es similar al encontrado en otros estudios en España. Las chicas presentaron mayor sintomatología depresiva. La diferencia de sexo fue mayor en el grupo de alta sintomatología depresiva. La sintomatología depresiva aumentó con la edad en consonancia con investigaciones previas. La diferencia se puso de relieve en los autoinformes de los adolescentes, pero no en los informes de los padres. Se concluye la relevancia de tomar en consideración el sexo y la edad al elaborar programas de prevención de la depresión para adolescentes.
. Abstract The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship of gender and age with depressive symptomatology in adolescents. The participants were 1,212 adolescents, from 1st (53.9%) and 2nd (46.1%) year in Compulsory Secondary Education, belonging to seven schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain), and 104 parents. The percentage of adolescents with clinically significant depressive symptoms is similar to that found in other studies in Spain. The girls presented greater depressive symptomatology. The gender difference was greater in the group with high depressive symptomatology. Depressive symptomatology increased with age, consistent with previous research. The difference was highlighted in adolescent self-reports but not in parent reports. The main conclusion is that the development of depression prevention programs should take gender and age into consideration.
